This may be a Valentine's Day unlike any other, but restaurants and other local spots are still turning out eats -- both new and longtime favorites -- to help you celebrate with your plus-one.
You can get a doughnut and coffee box delivery (the brainchild of Sail Away and North Fork Doughnut Company) and hot chocolate "bombs," like the geometric heart-shaped ones from Sayville Chocolatier -- and most can be picked up curbside. While these are some of the newer innovations to come out of COVID-era, classics, like themed bagels and heart-shaped pizza, are still on the menu, too.
Here's a sampling of what's being offered for the holiday:
Sail Away x North Fork Doughnut Company: Sail Away Coffee Co. and North Fork Doughnut Company have paired their signature items for delivery — perfect for breakfast, dessert or a midday pick-me-up. Get a six-pack of nitro and six doughnuts for $55 or a 12-pack of nitro and six doughnuts for $75. Available for free delivery Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Doughnut flavors for Feb. 13th delivery include glazed and red velvet along with holiday-inspired "Chocolate Lovers" and "Vday OG." Orders must be placed by noon a day in advance. More info: sailawaycoffee.com
